Not sure why we would want to by default disable the gyro/accelerometer device which IMHO makes the DS3 far more useful and valuable than a cheap USB or BT gamepad. It probably just took six months to make it into stable Ubuntu.

quoting the Oct 9, 2017 submit:

Input: joydev - blacklist ds3/ds4/udraw motion sensors

Introduce a device table used for blacklisting devices. We currently
blacklist the motion sensor subdevice of THQ Udraw and Sony ds3/ds4.
